260 so the stdout is either fully-buffered or non-buffered. We can't
261 make stdout non-buffered, because of two concerns:
263 1. Non-buffering hurts performance.
264 2. Non-buffering may change GDB's behavior when it is interacting
265 with a front-end, such as Emacs.
267 We leave stdout as fully buffered, but flush it first when
268 something is written to stderr.
270 Note that the 'write_async_safe' method is not overridden, because
271 there's no way to flush a stream in an async-safe manner.
272 Fortunately, it doesn't really matter, because:
274 1. That method is only used for printing internal debug output
275 from signal handlers.
277 2. Windows hosts don't have a concept of async-safeness. Signal
278 handlers run in a separate thread, so they can call the regular
279 non-async-safe output routines freely.
